Hey guys,

here's a workflow I find useful:

I made one like this a little while ago, but with dynamic results:

not yet. some people are working on it.

As andrew explained earlier on this thread (i think). The main reason behind this decision is that they would have a really hard time making sure that no workflow will behave in a harmful way (or will purely contain a malware). 

Though, he is working on something.

So I never shared this one yet, so it might be a little tricky.

If you don't have a C compiler, follow these instructions (if you don't know what it is, chances are you should follow these instructions too).

Then, follow these ones

I have installed Flac support on my computer too but I don't remember how. It was a real pain though... Fell free to look around if you need that ability.

Now you can install the workflow:

In the second part of the workflow (Run Script), change 

output=$output".mp3";

to 

output=$output".aiff"; 

There you go, it should now work like a charm. Just select one or multiple audio files (it won't go into folders though) and use the file action on them. (You might want to change the name of the file action too because right now it's "convert to mp3").

If you want total control of the quality (I have set it up to be the best quality possible, theoretically), to find the exact command your script should execute, read this:

http://linux.die.net/man/1/sox

and then, change this line to whatever your readings tell you:

/usr/local/bin/sox "$input" -C -0.2 "$output"

Here is what your settings should be like:

Alftp is dead  

There have been a few topics on the subject already. Here, these two have one good workflow each:

http://www.alfredforum.com/topic/840-evernote-workflow-version-1-search-within-alfred-window/?hl=evernote

Good catch. I personally never use that function so I never noticed it. I'm going to update the workflow.

If you feel like it, there are a few functionalities that could be added, especially browsing (at only one level) a torrent, and / or setting priorities. 

I probably won't do it myself because I'm lazy.

Updated version at the same link:

Yes. (as far as I know) http://www.alfredapp.com/powerpack/

Oh right! My bad. I though you wanted to use my workflow to manage transmission on a server from a remote computer. BUt yeah you are right, you do need to enable remote access! 

try the up arrow

Within the "script filter" named "rate" in this workflow, you will find the code that gives you the title and the artist of the track currently playing. I don't know exactly what you want to do with the lyrics (open in browser, save in .txt, add to track metadata, paste to clipboard...) so depending on that there are several approaches you might want to take. 

Say you want to add that to the track's metadata.

First, I'd pass the title and artist as arguments (in the xml output) to a second script (thus replacing the current NSAppleScript) that would get (and parse) the lyrics form a predefined website. I'd recommend you use php for that part as it's very good at dealing with websites but anything would do.

Second, I'd pass the lyrics you've obtained to a final script. I recommend you use Apple Script as it'll make it really easy for you to set the tracks metadata to the lyrics you've just passed.

Any question? 

have fun

nope, but it's easy to do if you look into the code. 

Je peux aider si c'est pas trop compliqué. J'ai fait une bonne dose de workflows.

It'd be really awesome to have something equivalent tied to google scholar ! I'd definitely have a use for that ! 

You could also make a droplet that fires up alfred with a pre-typed keyword or something.

using the latest version you shouldn't have to edit the files. It's all done automatically now. Just try it out and see if it works.

Alt+down kinda does that. It's the equivalent of Alt+up and then down. Try it out.

It might very well be outdated. Let me upload the version I'm using.

Upon Ramshank's request, here's a workflow to check your disk space

Good idea, here you go:

Hey guys,

I realize I never really addressed the issue some of you reported. The only thing that comes to mind is that you might have tempered with /etc/hosts (when trying to block some software activation most likely).

This is no big deal, just open the file and make sure there is a line that says:

127.0.0.1 localhost

if it is not the case or if you don't know how to access this file, here is how to edit this protected file:

open a terminal and type

sudo vi /etc/hosts

it'll ask for your password (when typing, nothing appears, this is normal).

Once the file opens (in terminal), press A to enter the edit mode, add the line (wherever), press ESC to quit the edit mode and press :WQ to save and quit.

You are done.

If the workflow still doesn't work, tell me.

yes it is possible. 

That's a damn good idea! It adds so much to afred! We just need to find a way to make it pretty now
